I lie below, you float above In the pretty white ships that I've been dreaming of And I'd like to swim beside you Getting dizzy in your wake Getting close enough to touch you Getting brave enough to take you into my arms And bring you down to be with me

But I can't do that thing anymore I can't be the thing I was before Maybe I am better off alone Because I crush everything And I crush everything And I crush everything

My body's strong, but my will is weak I got pretty nice arms, but I hate my beak And the dolphins are all phonies They seem nice enough at first They pretend to be your friends Until they see you at your worst and then they leave you Without a word they swim away

So I can't do that thing anymore I can't be the thing I was before Maybe I am better off alone Because I crush everything And I crush everything And I crush everything

And everything I want I take And everything I love I break And every night I lie awake

Did the stars come out? Did the world spin round? Does it matter that much when you're ten miles down? And in the light that filters down Into my giant yellow eye I can see the sails unfolding Stretching white against the sky and I forgive them I forgive and I let go

Cause I can't do that thing anymore I can't be the thing I was before Maybe I am better off alone Because I crush everything And I crush everything And I crush everything

And I crush everything And I crush everything And I crush everything

I lie below, you float above In the pretty white ships that I am dreaming of
